Advantages: integrated, fast
Disadvantages:

...Delphi is a professional software development tool and fully object oriented. It is dangerously easy to use - see the other reviews - but it is also perfectly suited to professional software development. Many companies have generated millions of pounds worth of sales using Delphi. It has an excellent IDE (development environment) and a full set of components to cover just about everything. Personally, I would go for version 5, version 4 if you are touch about getting to close to the cutting edge (:-)). There are three versions, the basic 'magazine cover' version is good for hacking, the professional version is pretty much the entry level and client server is a must for bigger companies and database work. It also has the fastest compiler in the business.... Read review

Advantages: Good build quality, easy to use.
Disadvantages: Kit lens lets it down.

...Very good camera. Definatly worth a thought rather than its big brother 400D. I chose this over the 400D and i'm glad I did. The extra money I had left from my budget means I can spend it on things like a tripod, filters, bags..etc. Build quality is good and the camera itself is easy to use. However the only thing I can think of that lets it down is the build quality and standard of the kit lens. The optics provided let the camera down alot, and really limit what you can do. Coupled with a professional lens from Canon this camera has the capability to take professional standard photography. Well worth a thought for the budding amateur or the professional looking for a spare toy to play with!... Read review

Advantages: layers used, easy to use
Disadvantages: expensive product about £200 at the cheapest

...This is another fantastic product by Macromedia and is as it says, a dream to work with this is due to the fact that the product is of high quality. I find that dreamweaver makes a new web site look very professional and quality. You don't have to mess around with any frames as all the items are put in layers, which are so easier to work around with. You can move the layer anywhere on the screen which you cannot achieve with frames. So I would recommend this product only to the person in business who wants to create a really professional looking web site.... Read review

Advantages: Cover many high-brow companies
Disadvantages: Lots of people on their books

...I have visited Crone Corkill on a number of occassions, they have a few offices in London (City & West End) and have a searchable website at www.cronecorkill.co.uk They are a very professional outfit who offer top class temporary and permanent jobs in high brow companys, mainly in banking and legal. In the past 5 years, they have found me 2 high calibre jobs at very reputable companies. As a temp, I also found that their pay scale was higher than most agencies and that payment was always very prompt. I would definitely use them again.... Read review

Advantages: Lightweight, 3 heat settings, Free Styling Brush, Cold option
Disadvantages: Not the cheapest on the market

...I've gone through many hairdryers. I used to buy very cheap ones that broke after not long, and that would dry my hair but then I'd have to figure out how to style my hair afterwards because they usually left my hair frizzy and wild. So i decided to make an investment into a more expensive hairdryer and it was well worth the money. The Babyliss 6696 is an expert hairdryer for professional use if desired. It really does make me feel like a professional hairdresser because of its size an style. It is a large hairdryer but it's surprisingly lightweight and easy to use. This one has been professionally selected by Patrick Cameron, a professional hairdresser. Knowing that this is a product that professionals use gives you the confidence to experiment and create your own styles and looks. It is a pleasure using this hairdryer. I have lots... Read review

Advantages: Enhanced Features
Disadvantages: Major compatiblity concerns

...I have decided against installing this on my system or several reasons. Firstly, after talking to various contacts who have intalled the operating system on their PC's, I was told that it was a nightmare to install, with varios problems on installations. Secondly, There are a whole host of compatiblity issues, for example there are alot of supliers out there, for things like Graphics cards, sound cards etc, that have not yet developed drivers that are compatible with Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional. My recomendation to you if you want this operating system on your PC is to WAIT, until you are sure that all your various components in your system have the compatible drivers for the Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional operating system. You need to contact your suppliers of your componants to ensure they have a driver... Read review

Advantages: Easy to hold,removes plaque effectively
Disadvantages: none

...Look on any display in any supermarket or chemist and you are faced with a vast array of toothbrushes. Big ones ,small ones,ones with pretty pictures which do you choose and why? Most people will go on price and name and possibly what their dentist or hygienist has recommended. The Colgate Total Professional stands out from the crowd as the name suggests it is a brush dentists recommend and sell in their practices. It has also been researched by Colgate to show effective removal of plaque but saying all this it is using the product that really counts. I allways have this brush in my bathroom as it is easy to hold,looks good as there are different colours and my mouth feels really clean after use.I also find I have to floss less as the different levels of bristles clean all the areas of my tooth effectively. It is by no means the cheapest... Read review

Advantages: Heavy Duty yet compact design, perfect features for a drill.
Disadvantages: Price, but you pay for quality.

...Iv'e had this combination hammer and driver drill for rougly 2 years now, I use this drill for mainly work purposes as I am a professional joiner and set builder so I need a drill that promises to just keep on working at any task I need it for. Drilling concrete, putting hinges on or simple driveing screws into joints this drill delievers the best results I have experienced while using a combi drill. Alswell as a few hours a day at work usage sometimes I require this for D.I.Y. purposes and it doesnt fault their either, the small compact design is perfect for any job yet it still packs enough punch to get any job you need done professionally. I suggest buying the 'BARE' pack which is just the drill and no batteries, then buy two/three batteries and a charger sepeerate and you should save yourself a few pounds. I would deffiently suggest... Read review

Advantages: good course, no exam, flexible teaching
Disadvantages: need to be self disciplined

...I am in full time employment as a senior Nurse and am undertaking a Master of Arts degree in Advanced Professional Practice in Healthcare at Portsmouth University. This course is a part time course and can take between two and five years. The course is designed for all health care professionals, no matter what their discipline and it is structured around you deciding which areas you wish to investigate and learn more about. Whilst there are some core units, it is the teaching that is universal and the academic writing you produce is still negotiated with your lecturer to be relevant to your area of practice. There is no final exam, just eleven units to complete, each with their own pass criteria and assignments. It is not an easy course, and you do have to be motivated to work on your own, but I would fully encourage any other... Read review

Advantages: Fast Professional Graphics creation, with integration with many other programs.
Disadvantages: none

...In the past i have used such programs as Microsofts Image Composer to create graphics for websites, but until i found Fireworks it took a lot to create professional graphics. When using Fireworks you can create incredibly small files with high resolution. With the add ons such as 'Eye Candy' by Alien Software you can sit on your computor and in 5 minutes create a professional looking graphic which is a very small file size making it very useful for the internet. Fireworks 4 comes with support for JPEG, GIF, PNG, and the new for version 4 support for WBMP WAP phone images. The integration between Fireworks, Flash, Dreamweaver and Freehand is immense and creation with integration of all the programs makes it easy to create fast downloading high resolution small files. Just give the demo a try from http://www.macromedia.com/downloads and im... Read review
